1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Reverse transcription of the HIV-1 RNA genome is primed by the cellular tRNA(lys3) molecule that anneals to a complementary sequence in the viral genome, the primer-binding site (PBS). Additional interactions between the tRNA primer and the viral RNA were proposed to play a role in reverse transcription. We recently identified an 8-nt element in the U5 region upstream of the PBS that is critical for initiation and processive elongation of reverse transcription. This motif was termed the primer activation signal (PAS), and is proposed to interact with the "antiPAS sequence" in the TphiC arm of tRNA(lys3). In this study, we demonstrate that the efficiency of initiation of reverse transcription can be modulated by PAS mutations that strengthen or weaken the interaction with antiPAS. These results provide further evidence for a direct base-pairing interaction between the PAS in the viral RNA and the antiPAS in the tRNA(lys3) molecule. A broad phylogenetic survey indicated that a PAS element is present in all retroviral RNA genomes, suggesting that the process of reverse transcription is regulated by a common mechanism in all retroviridae. It has proven very difficult to change the identity of the tRNA primer for HIV-1 reverse transcription by changing the PBS sequence. Using in vitro reverse transcription assays, we demonstrate that the identity of the priming tRNA species can be switched by simultaneous alteration of the PBS and PAS motifs to accommodate a new tRNA primer. These results indicate that the PAS-antiPAS interaction is important for both primer selection and efficient reverse transcription.
